Olympiakos-Prometheus 91-77: And now the two of them – 2024-02-18 07:07:52

The “eternal” final will be held, as expected, tomorrow in Heraklion. Olympiacos defeated Prometheus Patras in the second semi-final with 91-77 and set a date with Panathinaikos for the claim of the Greek Cup.

At halftime, the score was 40-36. The semifinal was tied until midway through the third period, when 43-43 became 58-45 and 70-52 with baskets by Kanaan, Fal and three pointers by Alec Peters. The partial score of the third quarter was 30-16. The difference never fell into single digits the rest of the game (85-75 at the 38th minute).

Thomas Walkup finished the game with 10 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds. The first scorers of Olympiakos: Petrusev 15, Fall 11, Peters 10, Wright 10, Kanaan 8, Brazdeikis 8, Mitrou-Long 7, Papanikolaou 7. The injured Nigel Williams-Goss was absent.

From Ilias Papatheodorou’s team, which played without Linos Chrysikopoulos, Cowan 20, Reynolds 19, Hale 11, Etsenike 10, Papas 7 stood out. Prometheus, a finalist of the competition in 2020 and 2021, has never in its history won the Olympiakos in 19 official matches.

Earlier, Panathinaikos secured the first ticket to the final, with its relatively easy victory over Aris: 76-65, with 20 points from Kendrick Nunn, 10 from Mitoglou, Grant. Vassilis Toliopoulos scored 21 for the losers.

The final of the Greek Cup will be held at Dio Aorakia of Heraklion on Sunday evening (7 pm).
